When I put my Chinese made, twin-chamber, 5+ hp adding, loud, and cabin-drone laden aftermarket muffler on the car, I was AMAZED at how cool the rear trunk was after that.
It's a nice benefit beyond all the others.

Didn't know that! I like the aftermarket muffler. It weighs 20 lbs. vs the 45lbs. oem exhaust. As far as the drone, I avoid it by driving over 2,900rpm.
